Graphics processors for Nexus
- Gisela Roberts
Nexus is tested and fully supported with current NVIDIA graphics processors that support openGL. This is the Vicon-recommended graphics processor for PCs that are to run your Vicon system and Nexus software.
Using other graphics processors is not recommended and may affect the performance of the software.
Important
The OpenGL download for non-NVIDIA graphics processors offered a potential workaround for Nexus 2.13–2.15. However, in Nexus 2.16, it causes adverse performance and display issues and may cause Nexus to stop responding.
If you experience issues with the software and you have been informed by Vicon Support that this is due to the graphics processor, note these points:
- Issues can occur when you first start the software, or may be due to a driver or Windows update.
- If you previously had a working configuration, consider rolling back the driver version or restoring Windows to a working restore point.
- Some laptops have both a dedicated graphics processor and an integrated processor. You can select the processor for use by an application. You can usually find the option for this by right-clicking the application's shortcut. You can find further general controls in the NVIDIA control panel.
